If you’re an aspiring data professional struggling with learning SQL, this could be the most important page you read today.
I want to introduce you to a client of mine, Sarah.
Just six months ago, Sarah was in a tough spot.
She was overwhelmed by the thought of sitting in front of her computer, trying to make sense of SQL.
She also struggled with feeling lost when it came to building her data skills.
And when Sarah lay awake at night, the thoughts of missing out on job opportunities were running through her head, causing her to feel anxious and frustrated.
She worried that she would never be able to land a great job in tech.
And most of all, she was terrified that she would be stuck in a job she didn’t like forever.
Does any of this resonate with you?
Do you find yourself staring at SQL tutorials, feeling more confused than before?
Or maybe you feel like your friends are moving ahead while you’re left behind?
Perhaps your family has even told you –
“Why not get a degree in data science?” (as if it’s that easy!)
If that’s the case, you’ll know just how Sarah was feeling.
Sick and tired of feeling stuck, Sarah decided to take action.
She had read a lot about online courses that promised to teach SQL quickly.
Everything seemed to make sense, and the premise was simple.
Apparently, all you needed to master SQL was to watch some videos and practice a bit.
So, she jumped in, excited to finally learn.
She thought that these courses would be the key to landing a job in tech without having to spend years in a classroom.
So, she signed up for a Udemy course.
She tried piecing together free resources.
And even had a go at using SQL books she found online.
Two weeks later, though, Sarah was questioning what was happening.
See, despite the promises of those courses, and despite her dedication to learning every day, she was still stuck with:
– Not understanding how to write even the simplest SQL queries.
– Sometimes being able to read and understand a query, never any hope of being able to create one from scratch.
– Feeling lost during job interviews.
– Seeing her friends get hired while she stayed frustrated.
– Wasting money on resources that didn’t help.
It was baffling.
Because there she was, doing everything “right,” only to find that her confusion had only grown.
As sad as this is, it’s something I see all the time.
In fact, I speak to hundreds of aspiring data professionals every year, who so desperately want to master SQL, yet find themselves trying courses and books only to STILL stay stuck with:
– Not being able to analyse data like they want to.
– Missing out on job opportunities because of lack of skills.
– Feeling embarrassed when asked about SQL knowledge.
– Wasting time on confusing tutorials that lead nowhere.
And that’s because the shocking truth is –
Most traditional ways of learning SQL simply don’t work.
In fact, there are three big reasons why conventional methods like free online videos, outdated textbooks, and generic courses keep you lost, frustrated, and confused.
If you’re anything like most aspiring data professionals, there are 3 big mistakes you’re making when it comes to mastering SQL.
Mistake 1: Relying on free online videos.
The problem with free online videos is that, while they seem convenient, they often lack structure and depth. You might think you’re getting a solid foundation, but in reality, they throw you into the deep end without teaching you how to swim.
This means, when you try to follow these videos, all that happens is you become overwhelmed by scattered information and end up more confused than before.
Mistake 2: Using outdated textbooks.
The problem with outdated textbooks is they often focus on theory instead of practical skills. Sure, some data professionals may manage to understand SQL concepts from these books, but that’s usually in spite of the book’s rigid approach, not because of it.
All that really happens when you rely on these textbooks is you:
– Feel lost when trying to apply what you’ve read.
– Waste time flipping through pages looking for the right answer.
– Develop a fear of making mistakes, which holds you back from learning.
Mistake 3: Trying generic online courses.
This one’s a little different. Because while free online videos and textbooks don’t work due to their lack of engagement, generic online courses often fail because they don’t cater to individual learning styles.
Meaning no matter how hard you work, how consistent you are, or how much you believe in these courses, the truth is that all that happens is:
– You struggle to grasp complex topics that you need for real-life scenarios.
– You end up with a certification that doesn’t help you land interviews.
– You miss out on the hands-on practice that solidifies your learning.
Now, you can kind of see why free online videos, outdated textbooks, and generic online courses don’t work to help you master SQL.
But here’s the real kicker …
Not only do these methods not work …
… they actually make the confusion worse.
You find yourself doubting your ability to learn, feeling like you’re running in circles, and the fear of not being good enough creeps in. Instead of gaining skills, you’re left with a heavy weight of frustration, wondering if you’ll ever break through. Each day that passes without progress deepens your anxiety, and soon, the dream of a rewarding career in data feels like a distant fantasy.
I call this “The SQL Doubt Complex.” – It’s very common.
And it’s the #1 reason why so many aspiring data professionals stay stuck with confusion, frustration, and missed opportunities.
That’s the bad news.
The good news is, you don’t have to settle for this.
Because there IS a way to:
– Master SQL without solely relying on videos, and feeling like you’re all alone.
– Gain practical skills even if you’ve struggled with other methods.
– Build confidence while enjoying the learning process.
And ultimately, you can become the go-to data expert, ready to tackle exciting job opportunities and projects you once thought were out of reach.
But before I reveal what that is, let me tell you a little story about how I came across this revolutionary approach.
Back in 2004, I was also struggling with learning SQL.
I’d tried online training courses, outdated textbooks, and classroom-based lessons, but I was still feeling lost and confused, staring at my screen with no idea how to write a single query.
Then one day, I came across a workshop led by a data expert who had a unique approach. It opened my eyes to just how ineffective the conventional advice for aspiring data professionals looking to master SQL really was.
Because suddenly it dawned on me.
In order to master SQL, you really only needed to do a few key things.
Firstly, you need to learn through hands-on projects that simulate real-world scenarios.
When you do this, you automatically gain practical experience and confidence. This means that instead of feeling overwhelmed by theory, you actually feel empowered. And before you know it, you’re writing queries that solve real problems.
Do you see how that works?
By engaging in hands-on projects, you not only learn the theory but also see it in action. It’s like learning to ride a bike—you can read about it all day, but until you hop on and start pedaling, you won’t really know how to balance.
Next up, you need to receive personalized feedback from experienced mentors.
The reason this works so well is because feedback helps you correct mistakes before they become bad habits. It’s like having a coach who guides you through each step, ensuring you’re always on the right path. This direct support makes learning feel less daunting and more like a collaborative journey.
And finally, you need to be part of a community of fellow learners.
By doing this, you tap into shared knowledge and encouragement. Research shows that learning in a supportive environment can boost retention and understanding. You’re not just isolated; you’re surrounded by others who are navigating the same challenges, which makes the process much more enjoyable.
When added together, these three steps allow you to master SQL even if you’ve struggled with traditional methods.
And they do this without the frustration and confusion that often come with those outdated approaches.
So I developed a system, a ‘method’, and over time I developed a program. Once that I’ve used countless times to help people learn SQL.
I called it “The SQL Superhero Program.” and it incorporates all these elements that I think are essential when you’re learning SQL.
And it works.
And the reason this works so well to help you master SQL is that it combines practical experience, expert guidance, and community support, all designed for real-world application.
Think about it like this –
The old way aspiring data professionals tried to master SQL through free videos and textbooks is like trying to learn to swim by only reading about it in a book.
Whereas The SQL Superhero Program is like having a swimming instructor right beside you, showing you how to float and swim confidently.
Plus, everything here is based on proven educational techniques, as opposed to trial and error.
That means all the negative emotions you’ve been feeling—emotions like frustration, confusion, and self-doubt—were NOT your fault.
The problem wasn’t with you …
The problem was with the way you were trying to learn SQL.
But now you have The SQL Superhero Program, which means that mastering SQL can be easy.
Just imagine confidently walking into a job interview, ready to showcase your skills.
Or being able to solve data problems for your team, earning their trust and respect.
And even landing a job you love, where you can grow and thrive in your career.
With The SQL Superhero Program, this is more than just possible … This is YOUR future.
And if you’re still sitting on the fence, I get it.
Why would you believe me?
I’m just some bloke on the internet!
So instead, how about I introduce you to some aspiring data professionals who’ve also gone from confusion to confidence using The SQL Superhero Program?
Emily from Manchester was struggling with feeling lost in her SQL journey. She’d tried YouTube videos, W3Schools and even a Udemy course, but failed to get further than the very basics. She gave our program a go, and now confidently writes complex queries in her job working for a bank.
“Joining The SQL Superhero Program changed everything for me. I never thought I could understand SQL so well! The lesson challenges were engaging, and the feedback was incredibly helpful.”
Then there’s Nadeem from Birmingham. He was struggling with SQL for years, trying every method he could find, but nothing was sinking in.
But after just six weeks of using The SQL Superhero Program, he said:
“I finally feel like I understand SQL! The hands-on lessons and challenges made it so much easier to learn, and the community support kept me motivated.”
And then there’s Alice from Cornwall.
Her problem was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. Despite working hard, she just could NOT shake the feeling of inadequacy.
Just two months later, here’s what she had to say:
“Thanks to The SQL Superhero Program, I’ve not only learned SQL, but I’ve also gained the confidence to apply for jobs. I feel like I finally have a future in tech!”
I could go on.
In fact, to date, I’ve helped over 100 aspiring data professionals master SQL using The SQL Superhero Program.
And, in a moment, I’ll show you how you can get your hands on this system too.
But first, back to Sarah from the start of this page …
When I first spoke to her, she was sceptical.
She had found me through a trusted colleague who told her I could help her master SQL.
But rightly, Sarah wasn’t 100% sure I could help.
So I talked her through The SQL Superhero Program, and she agreed to give it a try.
Her results were nothing short of outstanding.
After just 5 days, Sarah felt a surge of confidence she hadn’t experienced before.
Two weeks in, and she was writing her first queries with ease.
And just four weeks after first using The SQL Superhero Program, Sarah had landed an interview for her dream job.
How incredible is that?
And on top of this, she said:
“I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time! I finally feel prepared for a career in data, and I’m excited about my future!”
These days, Sarah is an established data analyst and well on her way to becoming a senior analyst, just like she always wanted.
Like I said, The SQL Superhero Program really can work for any aspiring data professional struggling with SQL.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve:
- Tried learning SQL before and failed.
- Felt overwhelmed by the amount of information.
- Believed you weren’t “good enough” to learn it.
Or even if you think you don’t have enough time to dedicate to it.
The bottom line is this:
The SQL Superhero Program works by combining explanations, examples, practical challenges, personalized feedback, and community support, meaning that even if you apply just 25% effort, you’re all but guaranteed to master SQL.
When I realized just how powerful this system was, I was excited.
But I also had a problem.
Because I knew how many aspiring data professionals this could help …
… but I also knew it was next to impossible for me to personally get this into the hands of everyone who needed it.
That’s why I decided to package this system as an online program.
And now I want to share with you exactly how you can experience the confidence, skills, and opportunities that come with The SQL Superhero Program.
Introducing – The SQL Superhero Program…
The ONLY online program designed for aspiring data professionals struggling with the complexities of SQL.
After witnessing Sarah’s amazing success and trialing the program with over 500 eager learners, I realized just how many lives this could transform.
How it would finally be possible to overcome the challenges of learning SQL and stop feeling confused and frustrated.
And instead, you could confidently master SQL and feel empowered to tackle any data problem that comes your way.
Initially, I considered working with each person personally.
But the problem with that was, my coaching doesn’t come cheap.
In fact, an hour of my time costs £160.
And that’s just for one session.
Considering most people need at least 10 sessions to fully grasp SQL, that could cost over £1600.
I thought about doing it virtually in a group setting, but even that wasn’t viable, because that way, I wouldn’t be able to give everyone the individual care and support that makes this thing worthwhile.
And when I looked at my competitors, they were charging between £1200 and £2000 for their programs.
And these alternative programs didn’t even offer one-to-one support!
I didn’t want cost to be a barrier for dedicated learners achieving their dreams.
So I took this new method and thought about how I could help as many aspiring data professionals as possible.
The solution was simple—
A 15-week digital program split into three modules: Walk, Run, and Fly. I’ll guide you through each stage of The SQL Superhero Program and show you how to apply it to your unique situation.
Here’s how this looks:
Module 1: Walk – Basic SQL
Weeks 1 -5
- Simple queries and filtering your data
- Table joins and understanding the concept of ‘relational’ data.
- Date functions, ‘case’ logic, grouping and summarising data.
- Handling different data types such as numbers, text data and converting data.
- Handling oddities such as NULL values.
- Practice challenges.
- Weekly support group calls to handle any questions and concerns.
Module 2: Run: Intermediate SQL
- Learn the ins and outs of subqueries, CTEs and temporary tables.
- Understand variables.
- A deep dive into window functions.
- Get to grips with views.
- One-to-one calls with your course tutor.
- Fully supported learning.
- Complete the end-of-module challenge to enhance your knowledge.
Module 3: Fly – Advanced SQL
- Delve into advanced topics such as merging data and ETL processes.
- Build your own user-defined functions and learn the APPLY command.
- Understanding data warehousing concepts.
- Learn about indexing, performance and query optimisation.
- Dive into some fun programming with loops and dynamic SQL.
- Join group calls to engage with the community, and have one-to-ones for in-depth mentorship.
Beyond Walk, Run & Fly
- Interview tips and preparation
- Additional challenges
- Career advice and job-seeking tips
Can you see how this works?
Each module builds on the last, meaning that by the time you finish Module 1, “Walk”, you’ll actually have a solid grounding in SQL.
After completing Module 2, “Run”, you’ll know enough to nail any technical job interview or hit the ground running in a new role..
And by the end of Module 3, “Fly”, you’ll have developed a complete understanding of 99% of the SQL commands, functions, approaches and techniques that you’ll ever need for a career in data. By this point, the only thing that separates you from someone like me is a few years’ experience!
To give you just a taste of what this can look like, check out these aspiring data professionals who went through The SQL Superhero Program.
“Joining this program was the best decision I ever made. I went from feeling lost to landing my first data analyst job!” – Jake, 28 from Leeds.
“I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in just 15 weeks! The hands-on projects made it so engaging, and the support from the community was incredible.” – Priya, 25 from Bristol.
“This program changed my life! I finally understand SQL, and I feel ready to take on any challenge.” – Alex, 30 from Dublin, Ireland.
Now, having read all that, and seeing the incredible results others have achieved, you’re no doubt wondering how much The SQL Superhero Program costs.
Well, considering the fee for working with me personally can be £160 per hour…
And considering that other courses like this often charge £1500 or more, you’d be forgiven for thinking that The SQL Superhero Program would be at least £1200.
Well it used to be, to be honest.
But I found that the problem is that most people in junior roles, or graduates or unemployed people…
Just don’t have that kind of money.
Especially not in one lump sum.
So now I’ve reduced the price AND made it more flexible.
So today, on this page, you can get The SQL Superhero Program for just £59 per month.
£59 is equivalent to the cost of a coffee every working day for a month, or a meal out for two.
Yet for that small investment, you give yourself the opportunity to:
– Unlock a future where you confidently analyse data and solve complex problems.
– Gain the skills needed to impress potential employers and stand out in interviews.
– Transform your career path and open doors to exciting job opportunities.
– Join a community of like-minded learners, all supporting each other on the journey.
But before you make your decision, I want to do three things…
Firstly, I want to give you an incredible bonus, worth £99.
I call this bonus The SQL Cheat Sheet.
It’s an exclusive resource designed to give you quick references for common SQL commands and best practices.
Why am I adding this in?
Well, for one thing, I appreciate any aspiring data professional who’s committed to mastering SQL.
And secondly, I know The SQL Cheat Sheet is only going to make your learning process even easier and quicker.
Secondly, I’m adding in another bonus – The Interview Ready Guide.
This one will help you prepare for job interviews in the data field, giving you tips and strategies to answer common SQL interview questions with confidence.
Together, these bonuses are worth £124.
But they’re yours, 100% free, when you invest in The SQL Superhero Program today.
And finally, I’m going all-out and reversing the risk.
That’s right.
I don’t want you to take ANY risk at all.
So if you’re unhappy with The SQL Superhero Program for any reason, simply email my support team within 30 days, and we’ll refund every penny you paid, no questions asked.
That way, you literally have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
At this point, you have a choice.
You can continue trying to muddle through with online tutorials, YouTube videos, endless Udemy courses and confusing articles, but you’ll still be struggling with SQL.
You can keep feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, despite attempting to piece together knowledge from outdated methods like trial-and-error or cookie-cutter courses.
You can even keep crossing your fingers, hoping that something will magically unlock your potential and give you the SQL mastery you’ve always wanted.
But I want you to be real with yourself for a moment—
How likely is that to happen?
If you’re anything like most aspiring data professionals I speak with, the chances of you achieving true SQL fluency through those methods is slim—maybe 1, or at best, 2%.
And the chances of your SQL skills improving on their own?
A big, fat zero.
Which leaves you with one of three options.
Option one is to do nothing.
But I think by now you’ll see that’s never going to help you master SQL.
Option two is to take what I’ve shared on this page and try it yourself.
You’ve seen what doesn’t work…
And I’ve given you an insight into The SQL Superhero Program.
So there’s a chance you COULD piece this together on your own.
I’m not saying that’s impossible.
But it’s highly unlikely.
Thousands of learners have tried this before, and at BEST, they’ve had marginal results, taking months or even years to achieve what they could in just weeks with structured guidance.
At worst, they’ve spent an eternity stuck in confusion, feeling defeated as their skills stagnate and opportunities slip away.
I truly don’t want that for you.
So while I’m not telling you what to do, I do believe option three is your best bet.
And that is to take The SQL Superhero Program for a test spin.
You’ve seen the results other learners have achieved.
You’ve seen how it’s helped over 100 aspiring data professionals to master SQL with confidence.
And you know it comes with an unbeatable risk-free guarantee.
So the question is—
What do you have to lose?
Just a few weeks from now, you could be—
– Confidently writing complex SQL queries that unlock valuable insights from your data.
– Landing your dream job in data analytics, finally using your skills to make a real impact.
– Impressing your friends and family with your newfound expertise and the exciting projects you’re working on.
– Walking into an interview room with unwavering confidence, knowing you’ve got the skills to back up your ambitions.
And you’ll have done that—
– Without endless frustration from trial-and-error learning.
– Without wasting time sifting through outdated tutorials that don’t deliver results.
– Even if you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed in the past.
– Even if you think you’re not “tech-savvy.”
And while enjoying the support of a community of fellow learners cheering you on every step of the way.
I know it’s possible.
You know it’s possible.
You’ve seen the proof.
You know about the guarantee.
And while you will have to put in the work, I promise you … you can do this.
So if you truly want to master SQL…

P.S.
Got questions?
Good. That shows you care.
Here’s a selection of our most commonly asked questions:
1. How soon will I see results?
Most learners start feeling more confident in their SQL skills within the first few weeks. Most new students book in a one-to-one with me after a couple of weeks to tell me how much they’re enjoying it, how much they’re learning and how much of a difference it’s making.
By the end of Module 1, you’ll have a basic/intermediate SQL knowledge and you’ll see it all taking shape..
2. How soon do I get access?
Once you complete your purchase, you’ll receive an email telling you how to enrol. There’s usually a short wait while I set things up manually in the background, but within a few minutes you should be able to dive right into the introductory materials and start preparing for your SQL journey.
3. Do I need a computer to access this?
Yes, you’ll need a computer to complete the program. Two monitors will help your overall experience, but you can get by with just the one. It’s best suited to a Windows machine, but a number of recent sign-ups have been on MacBooks and we have a solid process for doing it this way now.
4. Is this program suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! The SQL Superhero Program is literally designed for beginners but also those with some knowledge who want to level up their skills. Each module is tailored to guide you step-by-step, ensuring you build a strong foundation before moving to more advanced topics.
5. What if I need help along the way?
Oh mate. ‘Help along the way’ is my middle name (actually it’s Benjamin, but don’t tell anyone), but support and guidance is one of the central elements of this entire program. So, you definitely won’t be alone! You’ll have access to a community of fellow learners plus me and my knowledge and expertise. I’m here to answer questions, provide support with your challenges, and celebrate your wins!
6. Can I access the program at any time?
Yes! Once you enrol, you can access the program materials whenever you want. This allows you to learn at your own pace, fitting the coursework into your schedule.
7. What happens if I decide it’s not for me?
If you’re not satisfied with The SQL Superhero Program for any reason, simply email within 30 days, and we’ll refund every penny you paid, no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our priority.
P.P.S.
